In all my Nunn matches both 1 and 2 Junior has trouble with the
time control. The shorter the control the more trouble it has.

Ex: 10 mins Nunn 1 v Hiarcs 7.32 it lost 7 games on time.
Nunn2 V F6 Old it lost 11 games.

Even now I begun a Nunn 1 with F6 as a result of those 5 time
losses at 2hrs/40 + 1 hr/20 + 30.

In my recent Vacation Tourney both Juniors....6 and 6.1 aka 6a
were involved in 6 time wins. 4 losses for 6.1 2 losses for 6.0.
However Junior unlike CSTal will be blitzing like crazy, the problem
for it is it has used a lot of time elsewhere.
